Man’s ‘laughable’ attempt to get out of fine

ANY police officer would tell you they get given every excuse under the sun when they're trying to fine a driver for doing something wrong, but the "laughable" explanation this man offered up earlier this week probably takes the cake.

The Roads Policing Unit from the UK county of Merseyside turned the man's excuse into a social media joke when he told the officer who pulled him over he was "just putting a laughing emoji to my girlfriend".
